Conservatives know in their hearts that they are a fringe minority when it comes to views on how to treat others.
Colbert was right reality has a liberal bias and conservatives need a safe space to pretend that the numbers are equal and that their arguments have validity.
Often times you notice conservative threads that are locked contain misinformation and outright lies. For instance they call the Russia investigation a hoax.
If reality pierces that bubble they are shown for the fools they are so they have to pretend that liberals are brigading in bad faith and not simply showing conservative views are simply invalid factually.
Thanks for the reply. This sounds a lot like how AM / Talk radio works on the right as well. Leftist talk shows actually bring on interesting guests, but right wing shows always cut the mic when the guest says something thought-provoking.
I would think conservatives would benefit from having their ideas challenged. It was the main reason why I started paying more attention to leftist ideas: they are actually defensible.
You see the same censoring on right YouTube as well. "so and so owns WOKE Trans non-binary sheep" but it's really just a clip that's cut off after their bad argument and before a logical rebuke destroys it.
That’s why there’s a comment section. These are hardly the same thing. Do you understand why they are different?
If you think calling people wrong in Youtube comments makes Youtube less likely to spread their bullshit, I have terrible news.
Who is censoring who on youtube?
Who are you talking to?
You. I wasn't thinking that putting a comment on a youtube video would change the world. Just that allowing comments invites discussion, which is much more than most right-wing safe spaces. Youtube as an org has its problems, like the alt-right pipeline, but individual creators can still be roasted in the comments, and other creators can still do video replies.
Compare that to calling in on a talk radio show, where your words are cut up and used against you.
Those comments are moderated and often just disabled.
And making them promotes those videos, through Youtube's shitty algorithms.
And chopping up damning responses into nonsense is a lot easier for video than for live radio.
Oh sure. Also, 1 good comment in 10k generally doesn't get seen. It's kind of a bare minimum thing I am refering to. Social media is terrible but it's at least good that it's social. I am refering to the "community" aspect of twitter's "community notes" for instance. Would be great to have that next to everything really. That's what value the comment section could hold. Kind of like having meaningful discussions on a small lemmy community. It's a damn shame sometimes what content gets promoted and what doesn't. Anyway I am rambling.
What a load of shite. Lefties are the fascists trying to silence anyone that doesn't agree with the hive mind. Reddit is just one of many examples.
If you think Reddit is controlled by lefties, especially now, you're out of touch, or so far right even the "basket of deplorables" is lefty to you.
In this thread: man misattributes "Fascism" to the opposite of the meaning.
And thought reddit was full of leftists. A very confused individual.
You do know fascism is inherently right wing ideology, right? This is exactly what I'm talking about.
People on the right use words that they don't know the meaning of and try to redefine them.
There has never been anything "left" about fascism.
You're simply incorrect.
You can repeat yourself all day long and the other lemmings in the room will upvote and pat your back for it. Still doesn't make you correct or clever. Just shows your ignorance.
The problem with your reply is, yes, repeating the same scrutiny of the data does indeed return the same definitive results. Progressive views and policies result in a greater quality of life.
Even for those who wish to kill ourselves back to prior ages.
Google it and find out.
Thanks for your reply. You are demonstrating what typically happens in right leaning circles. Why put out misinformation? Why not engage me in discussion? I only want to generate discussion.
You sound angry.
Oh don't worry about momo, he's just othering again. Just as others have explained in this thread. Othering is all he knows how to do. Hi momo!
Says the guy with a furry pfp
That's rude. I haven't eaten your mom's cooking in years.
What are some of the things lefties do that makes them facists?
What is your personal definition of facism?
